Spanish mackerel and sheepshead best bets in Sarasota

{%image_id=62576%} Fishing was a bit up and down this week for clients on Sarasota fishing charters. Weather was an issue as it was fairly breezy on several days. However, persistent anglers were rewarded with some decent action. Fish of the week goes to Brian, who pulled a nice upper slot redfish out from underneath a Siesta Key dock. The flats near Marina Jack, Bird Key, and Field Club produced a good number of ladyfish along with speckled trout to 18″, Spanish mackerel and bluefish to 2 pounds. Live shrimp and small threadies, jigs, and flies produced the fish. Big Pass produced ladyfish on jigs and a good sheepshead bite on Wednesday morning on live shrimp.
